Something a bit like the attached?
I got this one in a similar state to the one in the current auction except that under the dirt, the paint and decals were in very good shape. I went with the "Raleigh" size 26 x 1 3/8 (590) wheels because there are more tire choices available and an FW hub. I have some thought of switching to Moustache bars. I'd never been all that attracted to them until I bought a bike (the maroon one earlier in the thread) that came with them and found that I like them a lot. I ride this bike more than any other.
